I’m just starting to work out. I’m a small framed person and lack muscle mass as well as strength. I’m kinda nervous about using creatine, but I am desperate to bulk up. My job is physically demanding, and losing, or wimping out is not an option. Anyone with any advice feel free to contact me.

Creatine has many benefits for improving strength, strength performance and muscle size.

Form more information about the many proven strength and muscle building benefits of creatine, you can read my super-series article about Creatine to get the entire story, and up to date research review.

Here is a list of just some of the benefits that are reported in the scientific journals from taking creatine monohydrate supplements.

-Promotes greater gains in increasing FFM (Fat Free Mass, which includes muscle mass).

-Increases muscle fiber size (hypertrophy).

-Increases muscle mass.

-Increases myosin muscle fiber content.

- Improves strength training adaptations.

- Improves limb blood flow.

- Reduced ammonia levels.

- Reduced lactate levels.

- Raises lactate threshold.

- Reduces cholesterol levels.

- Reduces homocysteine levels.

Benefits have been measured in men and women; young and old (teenagers to over 70 years of age); inactive, active and athletic individuals.

-Improves rate of training induced gains.

-Improves maximal strength and power about 15%.

- Improves work performed during maximal effort muscle contractions about 15%.

- Improves anaerobic power.

-Improves single-effort sprint performance about 5%.

- Improves multiple sprint performance.

-Improves worked performed during repetitive sprint performance about 15%.

Plus many more benefits you can read about in the article.

Creatine, is the water filler for more muscle “SIZE”, not strength/stamina. If you want size fast, then this is a good way to go. what creatine does: it goes directly to your torn muscles and fills it with “creatine (mostly water)” and this in turn gives you more filler muscles within your “FIRST” set. Now there is something that you should know, creatine is a temporary filler. If you discontinue the use of this product “and” working out, you could decrease your muscle almost as fast as u built it. So please be sure that you will continue workingout for months after discontuniung, with a healthy diet, and lots of protein.

Just some things to remember about creatine:

Water is its transportation, so make sure you have plently of water during your day, and while you are working out. Now, i take creatine with grape-juice for that fast energy boost. Please use creatine for 3-4weeks and then break for at least 3weeks, and then restart again. This will help your muscles retain the size, and help with the “concentration” of creatine remain abundant whenever you use it.

That’s aout all i have to say about this topic.
But personally i suggest you take creatine only for those few months over the winter when you will sweat less during your day, becuase creatine is a water based muscle-builder, so if you are sweating, then it is literlally “seeping” out of you skin.

Creatine is along the lines of sodium, in that it makes your body hold water. The difference between sodium and creatine is that creatine forces more water into the muscle, sodium outside the muscle. The premise is that a heavier muscle can move more weight, therfore get tore down more from the heavier weight lifted, and repair back bigger and stronger that pre-creatine. It is suggested to take creatine with some high glycemic carbs either before or after an intense weight training session. I have used creatine in the past, but have not used it for the last two years. I believe that the carbs before and after the work-out are as anabolic as the creatine. I think that the creatine gets the credit for the carbs. But there are some other factors to consider, the placebo affect is very strong. If you believe creatine works, than it probably does.
